For creators

Keep the context
in your hands.

The local companion prepares the story from your stream material and notes. You control what’s shared.

Bring in your stream

Connect your own Twitch channel and add the stream material and notes you want to use. Available audio is processed locally.

Review and publish

Review the draft, publish useful context and decide which transcript excerpts to share. Original recordings and full transcripts stay on your computer.

Keep the story accurate

Add a note, correct a detail or retract a publication as things change. Published moments retain their connection to the source.
